A national World War II historical association is looking for relatives of women who worked on the home front during WWII.

The American Rosie the Riveter Association is trying to locate Kirksville descendants of women who may have worked during WWII to assist the war effort.

The association is in the process of collecting the stories from the female riveters, welders, electricians, seamstresses, ordinance workers and more.

The association is a patriotic, non-profit organization whose purpose is to recognize and preserve history and legacy of working women.

Relatives of women who worked for the war effort are encouraged to call toll-free at (888) 557-6743 or email americanrosietheriveter2@yahoo.com. The association can also be contacted at American Rosie the Riveter, P.O. Box 188, Kimberly, Ala., 35091.
